Day trip to Quedlinburg on 3 December 2017 with Christmas market visit

Dear PhD students and postdocs,

We cordially invite you to our next day trip to Quedlinburg, a town located north of the Harz mountains in the west of Saxony-Anhalt.
The Old Town of Quedlinburg, with 1,200 half-timbered houses from 6 centuries, is a UNESCO world heritage site since 1994. The town nestles around the Castle Hill, an impressive Romanesque church on top of a sandstone cliff.

We will take a city tour with a German-speaking guide and two English translators, then have lunch together. Afterwards there is plenty of time to enjoy the rather special, much-awarded Christmas Market among the Old Town’s courtyards.

Your participation fee of 9,00 € will cover the train fare, the tour and lunch.

Date: Sunday, 3 December 2017

Meeting Point: Halle (Saale) Hauptbahnhof at 8.30 am sharp

Return: leaving Quedlinburg at 4.30 pm, arriving at Halle (Saale) Hauptbahnhof at 6.15 pm

You will receive an email with more details approx. 2 weeks before the excursion date.

IMPORTANT: According to DAAD guidelines the excursion can only take place if at least 20 foreigners participate personally on 3 December 2017. So, we hope for at least 20 registrations/participations. Please, only register if you really want to participate and transfer the fee immediately to the bank account mentioned in Contactus until 10 November 2017. As, according to experience, it can take some time until we receive the money on our account, so we kindly ask you to send us a payment document via e-mail. If you pay and do not show up on the day of the excursion, we will consider this as non-attendance. If despite registration and transfer of the participation fee, .e.g. you get ill or cannot take part for other reasons, you are obligated to inform us in written form / per e-mail. In that case, we will try to give your place to someone else in order to guarantee the taking place of the excursion and to meet the DAAD guidelines. If the excursion cannot take place due to a small number of registrations, we will inform you immediately.

ACCIDENT INSURANCE: Please note that this counts as a private trip. You are not insured via the university or the PhD Network during the trip.

Quedlinburg awaits! We look forward to lots of registrations :)

Your PhD Network Team

P.S. If you have registered and only got a place on the waiting list, please do not transfer the participation fee. We will inform you if a place becomes free.
